Emika Komuro

Emika Komuro’s brooch evokes a quiet sense of nostalgia, where delicate forms and subtle hues capture the essence of longing. Two fan-like structures, rendered in soft gradients of blue enamel, unfold like petals in bloom. Their pleated surfaces, reminiscent of rippling water or the gentle folds of fabric, suggest movement and fragility. Above them, silver stems curve gracefully, each ending in a closed bud, frozen in a moment before full expression.

The piece embodies a poetic interplay between anticipation and restraint. The cool tones and airy composition create a sense of lightness, while the fine metalwork adds a sculptural quality that balances between nature and abstraction. Komuro’s meticulous craftsmanship elevates traditional materials into an object that feels both familiar and dreamlike. The brooch becomes more than adornment, acting as a quiet meditation on time, memory, and the ephemeral beauty of things just out of reach.
